all about our latest happenings

Here is tall & skinny T. He's definitely more comfortable on a basketball court, but he did great for his first tournament.

And here's C. For some reason, after I uploaded the video it was super-pixelated! Sorry for the blurriness.

all about wrestling

Friday night was spent at the boys' wrestling tournament.
They both did great!
This was T's first year wrestling.
I found out after the tournament that Josh told T
that he had to wrestle
if he wanted to play tackle football again this year.
All this time I thought that T just decided to try it out on his own.
That tricky Josh!

Well, we're all glad that he did, because he loved it.
He had a good time
& loves his medal.
T won 2 matches, lost 1.
C won 3 matches, lost 1.
Now T can concentrate on his all-star basketball tournament next weekend &
C can concentrate on
freestyle wrestling.
Baseball signups start this week.
Is there ever an off-season?


I will post a video in the near
future of the matches.

all about kindergarten khakis

When T & C were in Kindergarten I always picked out their outfits.
They liked to wear what Mom picked out for them.
I guess I'm out of practice, now. B hates everything I pick out for him!
This morning he had a meltdown because I wanted him to wear khakis. He only wears jeans or athletic pants.

Through his tears he tells me that it's a school rule that kids can't wear "church pants" to school!

He makes me laugh.
He can come up with some pretty good stories.
I actually won this fight. He had to wear "church pants" to school.
And to his surprise, he survived.

all about birthdays

C is now officially nine years young.
He had a great time taking treats to school, bowling with his buddies, opening presents (thank you Grandmas & Grandpas), and eating the funniest looking b-day cake ever.
It was my first time making an ice cream cake.
Of course I didn't have the patience to follow the recipe.
Patience is a good thing.
Ice cream cakes that melt faster than you can frost them are not good things.

Happy Birthday C!
We love you!

Do you see that happy look on his face?
He looks just like that, today.
Today starts his beloved wrestling season.
Josh had that same look on his face, Saturday.
He went & watched State Wrestling & loved every minute of it!
Josh & C are two peas in a pod.
